Rockharz Announces Bruce Dickenson’s Only German Festival Appearance of 2024


German festival, Rockharz, have announced that they have booked Iron Maiden frontman, Bruce Dickenson, for their 2024 edition. He will celebrate his recently announced album The Mandrake Project exclusively under the Devil’s Wall (a famous landmark of the Harz region)  as part of the only festival show of the year in Germany. Keep reading for more new acts and details.

 

Remaining tickets will go on sale, 5pm CEST, today (October 20th 2023) here.

 

Organizer Thorsten “Buddy” Kohlrausch is proud and happy about this very  special announcement:

For many years we have been hoping to be able to present such a legendary artist as Bruce Dickinson on the Rockharz stages one day. Now this dream comes true! And not only that! We will be the only festival in Germany where Bruce will perform with The Mandrake Project. Thanks to the universe for this unique opportunity and this accolade for our festival!

 

The 30 years anniversary edition of Rockharz in July 2023, celebrated by fans and press, was a complete success. While the event was still in full swing, two headliners – Hammerfall and Kreator – were already confirmed in addition to the first strong dozen of acts for the 31st edition of the friendly open air festival from July 03 to 06, 2024, at the Ballenstedt airfield in the Harz Mountains. The fans reacted promptly: after less than six weeks, Rockharz 2024 officially announced “sold out” in mid-August. So much trust is being rewarded, for instance with the next big highlight for all the lucky ones who secured a ticket right away – Bruce Dickinson!

 

But it keeps getting better: at the same time, four more highlights have been confirmed for next year with Amaranthe, Callejon, Benediction and Kanonenfieber – and that’s not all; more bands, including some main acts, will be announced soon.

 

Rockharz lineup:

Bruce Dickinson (“The Mandrake Project” exclusive festival show Germany 2024),  Amaranthe, Amorphis, Benediction, Callejon, D’artagnan, Dirkschneider, Hammerfall,  Hatebreed, Heldmaschine, Kanonenfieber, Kreator, Lordi, Oomph!, Orden Ogan,  Parasite Inc., Rage, Schandmaul, Soilwork, The Halo Effect, Unearth, Unleash The Archers, and many more.
